All accommodation arrangements are reserved in advance. You'll receive a package with vouchers for each property, as well as maps, brochures, and travel information, before you leave for your trip. Upon check-in, you'll simply submit a voucher in return for your stay. Maxxim vouchers are also used for the car rental, attractions, etc.

Your week in Canada's True North begins in the Yukon Territory's bustling capital, Whitehorse, a commercial oasis amid a sprawling and unspoiled wilderness. You'll stay two nights at the 180-room Westmark Whitehorse Hotel in the heart of the city.

With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November’s Weird Festival of the Month.

The hotel is blocks from the city's shops, restaurants, and nightspots. Whitehorse is chock-full of historic and natural attractions, including the restoredKlondike, the largest stern-wheeler to ply the Yukon River; Whitehorse Fish Ladder, which tells the story of the world's farthest salmon migration; MacBride Museum; Old Log Church Museum; and Takhini Hot Springs. The package includes a tour of the city and admission to Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue, a live show depicting entertainment that was popular during the gold rush.

Nature lovers can go for a hike in the parks along the banks of the Yukon River, which flows right through town, or explore the network of trails surrounding the city. If you're feeling extra adventurous, check out the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, 25 minutes north of Whitehorse.

Leaving Whitehorse, you'll continue on to the Klondike gold rush town of Dawson City, once the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Winnipeg. Much of Dawson City remains as it was at the height of the gold rush in 1898—at least on the surface. The streets are lined with wooden boardwalks, many of the buildings have been carefully restored, and you may even run into miners, dog mushers, and other costumed Klondike characters. The actors will make it easy for you to imagine the time when casinos, beer halls, and brothels ruled the town.

You'll spend two nights at the 20-room Aurora Inn, close to the main shopping district and galleries, the Dawson City Museum, and the Palace Grand Theater. The package also includes admission to Diamond Tooth Gerties, a casino which is within walking distance of the hotel.

Then proceed to Beaver Creek, known as the Gateway to Alaska because it sits on the Alaska Highway close to the Canadian border. You'll stay overnight at the 174-room Westmark Inn Beaver Creek, which is open for summer guests from mid-May through mid-September. You'll be treated to a Rendezvous Dinner Theater show, which is a family-style barbecue dinner accompanied by lively songs and skits.

Next on the itinerary is Haines Junction, a mountain village at the foot of Kluane National Park. Sitting at the crossroads of Haines Road and the Alaska Highway and surrounded by a dramatic mountainous landscape, Haines Junction is the perfect starting point for hiking, river rafting, canoeing, and fishing.

You'll stay overnight at the Inn on the Lake before returning to Whitehorse to spend the last night of your trip at the Westmark Whitehorse Hotel.
